It's amazing to see how Hans Bellmer continues to influence modern fashion and culture nearly a century later. Marc Jacobs designed Cardi B's 2026 Met Gala look, which was directly inspired by German artist Hans Bellmer's surrealist, frightening, and twisted doll sculptures. Over the years, our gallery has had the honor of handling and displaying a number of important works from the La Poupée series.
